Unique horizontal windows in newer and older homes can be stunning architectural features and treasured focal points. However, you might be curious about the various window treatments that pair well with these types of windows to help with light and privacy control.
The Custom Wood Shutters & Blinds design team is familiar with every horizontal window style imaginable, and we can help you find the right window coverings for your space.
Designers exclusively make custom window treatments for your home and will fit the window’s style and dimensions exactly. It’s worth the investment since you can choose the materials and fabrics and upgrade further with options like motorization.
The motorized systems, like PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas, benefit windows that are too high for you to reach easily. With these automation systems, you can control your window shades, blinds, and shutters with a remote, app, or voice commands.
